WEG has successfully installed several electric motors for Bolivian producer Itacamba Cemento SA, owned by Votorantim Cimentos SA and Cementos Molins.

The WEG package includes W22 IP66 high-performance low-voltage motors and medium-voltage slip ring motors with a brush lifting system for continuous operation and suitable for operation in aggressive environments. These electric motors will operate in drive mills, crushers and fans at the plant.

WEG motors with the brush lifting system have been supplied to several Votorantim cement plants.
"We at Votorantim Cimentos establish long-term relationships with our suppliers. Together, we think and can develop projects that provide the best resources for our plants offering professional excellence. WEG electric motors are a good example of this approach. Our solutions and relationships are important legacies in our projects," says Vitor Kazuo Shin-Ike, electrical engineer at Votorantim Cimentos.
